Bug ID: 145263
Summary: File size randomly increases Dramatically
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When editing a form sometimes the file size of a form will jump from a few KB
to a few MB. Something hidden is being embedded in the form. Tested with both
Linux Mint UMA 20.2 and a completely separate Win 10 Pro 21H1 system.
Started from scratch in both systems observed the same behavior in both.
The file size of the Database can sometimes jump over 20 times by a simple edit
of a form. Also form size will just increase in size over time when repeated
editing/ saving of a form.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Repeatedly editing a Form and testing of a form before saving a form.
2.
3.
Actual Results:
File size dramatically increases
Expected Results:
little or none file size increase
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Links to two base files
Both Files contain the same data, same forms one is 47 KB the other is 5 MB.
Over a 100 times bigger for the same database. The added garbage/data is
somehow contained in the form "frm_add_parts" in the larger DB file.

Someone reported this problem several years ago. Seems people didn't understand
the error being described. I observed the same thing with and without crashes.
